Frank,

I too had looked at these PIRs. Would be very interested in reports of
how good they are.

Hi All
Im currently using my security pirs for Security  and Occupancy
detection but find that they are not responsive enough for Occupancy
detection  at times .....Im thinking of using a little 5v pir head  and
connect it into my Probe system (no need for further wiring)....The
Probe system normally reports the status of Probes when
"Requested" this
obviously isnt suitable ...so i intend to dedicate Probe 6 in each Zone
for "Occupancy Pir" and then continually Poll probe 6 on each
zone and
report back to Homevision / xPL via the i/o and serial interfaces the
status of each pir.... and hopefully i will have a more reliable
Occupancy detection system....So im hoping the little pir heads are
quite sensitive..

Check out the link for the little pir heads...under security and
survellience part number k76 http://www.ozitronics.com/

More Soon
